9. In a Jam

IN A JAM 9 The chomping door held the sash in its splintery teeth. "I can't get it free!" Sam cried. Lucy and Antonio grabbed onto Sam. They pulled hard, but the door had slammed shut like a mousetrap. It wouldn't let go! "Orson Eerie really doesn't want you to have your sash back!" Lucy cried.

嘎吱作响的门用它的碎牙咬住了窗扇。 “我不能免费得到它！”萨姆喊道。 露西和安东尼奥抓住山姆。 他们使劲拉，但门像捕鼠器一样砰地关上了。 它不松手！“奥森·怪诞真的不想让你拿回你的腰带！”露西哭了。

Sam glanced at his friends. They knew that without the sash, they wouldn't be strong enough to defeat the school. Sam dug his fingers into the fabric. "Everyone, PULL!" he shouted. They tugged with all their might! A moment later, Sam, Lucy, and Antonio tumble to the floor. The sash was tattered, but it was still in one piece. Sam leapt to his feet. He looked around: at the walls, at the ceiling, down the long hall. He thrust the sash in the air. "Listen up, Orson Eerie!" he shouted. "You'll never get rid of us!"

萨姆瞥了他的朋友们一眼。 他们知道，如果没有绶带，他们就不会强大到足以击败学校。 萨姆把手指伸进织物里。 “大家拉！”他喊道。 他们竭尽全力地拉！过了一会儿，山姆、露西和安东尼奥倒在地上。 腰带已经破烂不堪，但还完好无损。 萨姆跳了起来。他环顾四周，看看墙壁，看看天花板，看看长长的门厅。 他把腰带抛向空中。 “听着，奥森·怪诞！”他喊道。 “你永远摆脱不了我们！”

"Come on!" Lucy yelled, tugging on Sam's sleeve. "Orson could strike the game at any moment!" Principal Winik's voice rang out: "The third inning starts now!" Sam and his friends hurried around the corner. They ran toward the double doors at the end of the hall. But then Sam felt it. Orson Eerie wasn't giving up without a fight... The floor rippled. The walls trembled.

“来吧!”露西喊着，拽着萨姆的袖子。 “奥森随时都可能打破比赛！”威尼克校长的声音响起：“第三局现在开始！”萨姆和他的朋友们急忙转过拐角。 他们朝大厅尽头的两扇门跑去。 但后来萨姆感觉到了。奥森·怪诞不战而退…… 地板荡起涟漪。墙壁在颤抖。

"Am I crazy?" Antonio asked. "Or is the hall getting smaller?" Sam realized it was true. The hallway was narrowing. The walls were closing in around them! "Orson's trying to use the hall to defeat the hall monitors?!" Lucy said. "Run!" Antonio cried. The floors swayed and shifted as the friends barreled down the hall. KRAKA-BURST! Sam glanced upward. The shrinking hall had knocked all the water sprinklers in the ceiling loose. Ice-cold water gushed down! The floor was soaking wet.

“我疯了吗？”安东尼奥问道。 “还是大厅越来越小了？”山姆意识到这是真的。 走廊越来越窄。 墙围住了他们！“奥森想利用大厅打败大厅监控器”露西说。 “快跑!”安东尼奥哭了。当朋友们飞快地穿过大厅时，地板摇晃着，移动着。 KRAKA-BURST !萨姆向上看了一眼。 缩小的大厅把天花板上所有的洒水装置都震松了。 冰水喷涌而下！地板湿透了。

The friends leaned forward and ran harder. But the doors seemed to be getting farther and farther away. The hallway was lengthening! AIEEEE! The hallway shrieked as the walls closed around them. Sam's heart raced. We're going to be crushed!

朋友们向前倾，跑得更用力了。 但是那些门似乎越来越远了。 走廊变长了！AIEEEE !墙壁把他们围了起来，走廊里发出尖叫声。 山姆的心跳加速。我们会被打败的！
